Clarified Yuzu Jungle Bird

The prettiest bird you ever saw. Clarification is a fun way to tackle classic drinks and is achieved by combining citrus and milk. Yuzu, with its floral aroma lends itself especially well to tropical flavors, making it a perfect choice for this little number.

Clarified yuzu Jungle Bird cocktail in a textured glass with pineapple frond garnish beside a YUZUCO bottle on warm beige

Ingredients

Serves 4

6oz aged rum
3oz Amaro Rosso
6oz pineapple juice
1oz 2:1 demerara syrup
1ozYuzu Super Juice
1/2oz lime juice
8 coffee beans

Instructions

Step 1

Add all of your ingredients to a large mason jar.

Step 2

To a separate large mason jar add 4.5oz of whole milk.

Step 3

Slowly pour the cocktail batch over the whole milk and give it a gentle stir. Let that sit in the fridge for about 12 hours before straining it through a coffee filter.

Step 4

If you want it crystal clear you’ll likely need to strain it through twice. It takes awhile but your patience is worth it!

Step 5

Once strained it’ll be shelf stable for about a month.

Step 6

Add 4oz of the cocktail batch to a mixing glass and stir for about 30 seconds. Strain into a chilled glass over a large, preferably clear, ice cube and garnish with pineapple fronds. Cheers!
